Interesting post regarding the Kaiser Permanente EHR system:
"An internal report from Kaiser Permanente details the specific problems associated with the nearly $4 billion electronic health records system being implemented by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals, Computerworld reports.
The system, called HealthConnect, was developed by Epic Systems and is intended to give about 100,000 Kaiser physicians and employees access to 8.6 million EHRs, and provide e-messaging capabilities, computerized order entry and electronic prescriptions. It also is intended to integrate scheduling, registration and billing for Kaiser members through the company's Web site (Rosencrance, Computerworld, 11/13)."
